Water features

We're planning to include a water feature once we finally get around to the landscaping in our backyard. Here are a few of my favorite ideas that I've collected.

I love the idea of water that comes right up to the house. It isn't practical for our current house, but maybe someday...

I also love natural looking ponds, with or without a little creek, that are lined with boulders of all sizes. I think we'll probably do something like this if we can find the time, energy, and enthusiasm.

I absolutely love this one, found on Cyndee's blog, The Journey.

This one, from Sunset, combines the patio and water feature, and the water goes under the patio. I love that.
